We can do that as well. We can call the VM by name and then use the Stop-VMGuest commandlet which initiates a guest operating system shutdown. If you do not want to receive the confirmation of the action, we can add the —confirm:false parameter:. Again, we can use the where-object commandlet to select out the NumCpu object. Loops allow you to perform the same operation multiple times against either selected objects or for a number of times looped through.
For instance, with a foreach loop, we can loop a certain action multiple times. It is setup like the pseudo code below:. If we want to get specific about which objects we are going to perform the action on, we can, for example, loop through a specific list of VMs from a text file. To populate the text file, we can run our Get-VM commandlet selecting out the properties we want, then pipe that to a text file. We can then use PowerShell to read the text file and place the VMs into an array on which we can loop through and perform an action.
Below we are adding a new network adapter to VMs in the list. There are a lot of great resources out on the web including personal blog sites, official documentation, code samples, etc.
What I have found is that if you can think of something you want to do, most likely there is someone who has already written a line of PowerCLI code that will do what you want.
The good thing too is normally you can find something very close to what you want to do, and with very little modification after learning the basics, you can modify it to suite your needs.
By doing this also, you are learning PowerCLI and how it works as well as how to modify the code to perform the task you need to accomplish. A great place to start with documentation and other resources is the official VMware PowerCLI release and documentation site. There are also tons of books with scripts and script examples that can be dissected and modified.
Keep in mind the community of VMware administrators out there who, for the most part, are glad to share the knowledge they have learned from someone else on their way to becoming proficient with PowerCLI. Reach out to those ones in your community for help with specifics or just general principles. Looking for a powerful yet simple and affordable data protection solution?
Now you can perform VMware vSphere backup , set up custom disaster recovery workflows, backup Office workloads and even test your Microsoft Hyper-V backups from one centralized web interface. Any community member can resolve issues within the repository, however only the owner or a board member can approve the update. Once approved, assuming the resolution involves a pull request, only a board member will be able to merge and close the request. Sample Exchange can be allowed to access your GitHub resources, by way of a linking process, where they can be indexed and searched by the community.
There are VMware social media accounts which will advertise resources posted to the site and there's no additional accounts needed, as the VMware Sample Exchange uses MyVMware credentials.
Board members are volunteers from the PowerCLI community and VMware staff members, board members are not held responsible for any issues which may occur from running of scripts inside this repository.
Items added to the repository, including items from the Board members, require a review and approval from at least one board member before being added to the repository. Skip to content.
